The Santana has two tire sizes: 175/70R14 and 185/60R15. In 175/70R14, the first number 175 represents the tire width of 175MM, 70 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 70%, meaning the section height is 70% of the width, 14 stands for the rim diameter of 14 inches, and the middle letter "R" denotes a radial tire. In 185/60R15, the first number 185 represents the tire width of 185MM, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, 15 stands for the rim diameter of 15 inches, and the middle letter "R" denotes a radial tire. The Santana's tires feature a multi-spoke radial wheel design, using Hankook KINERGY series tires, with the spare tire being non-full size. If you want to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned under the vehicle and at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, but do not fully remove them—just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when loosening the nuts ensures you turn the nuts, not the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, then fully remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, e.g., "Standard Rim 5.00F".

What is the function of the Corolla HOLD button?

The function of the Corolla's HOLD button is gear lock. Related introductions are as follows: 1. When the vehicle starts on winter snow-covered roads, the automatic transmission's output torque is too small, making it difficult for the vehicle to start or causing frequent wheel slippage. At this time, it is necessary to fix the gear in 2nd or 3rd gear, which is achieved by using the HOLD button. That is, pressing this button in the corresponding gear will prevent the transmission from changing gears. 2. When descending a mountain road, 3rd gear is needed for engine braking, which is also achieved using the HOLD button. 3. When the vehicle overtakes, the transmission is in the highest gear. Pressing the HOLD button at this time will cause the transmission to drop one gear to provide the vehicle with greater torque output.
